phase is angular shift between periodic signals.
phase is angular shift between periodic signals
- for example signal
x1(t)=cos(t)
is the same asx2(t)=sin(t+PI/2)
- angle PI/2 is the phase (angular shift) between
sin(t)
andcos(t)
- phase is also used as angular coordinate for polar representations of phasor commonly used in electrical engineering
- phase distortions of signals are called jitter
